Yeah, this is totally correct. What was great is the ability to do things like `SELECT name FROM NameOfForm` (in Foxpro, `forms` where stored in tables, so you can do sql on them), but what I say is that is the "free" query interface that is great, but if the actual thing is stored as json, csv, sqlite or whatever is orthogonal.
